HI All,

 

Been searching around the net for this but coming up blank.

 

Im trying to pin down when Class 158/9's were first put into revenue service in the West Yorkshire Metro Train livery?  From what I can gather the 10 units were the last built, up to 1992.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Joe

Further, RAIL 148 has a picture of 158901 at Bradford Interchange working the 1532 Hebden Bridge-Leeds on 24/4/91 commenting it had been taken off crew training duties to cover a drastic shortage of units and was believed to making the first revenue earning workings of the fleet. RAIL 149 reporting 1248 Leeds-Hebden Bridge being the first. The main introduction to service was scheduled to be 8/7/91 on a new half hourly Calder Valley timetable (Additional source - Railway World July 1991).
